About Falafel...

Falafel is a ball or patty made from ground chickpeas and/or fava beans. Falafel is usually served in a pita, which acts as a pocket, or wrapped in a flatbread known as lafa. The falafel balls are topped with salads, pickled vegetables, hot sauce, and drizzled with tahini-based sauces. Falafel balls may also be eaten alone as a snack or served as part of a meze.

Generally accepted to have first been made in Egypt, where the dish is widely known as طعمية (ta'amiya) in the Cairo dialect, falafel has become a dish eaten throughout the Middle East. Falafel (פלאפל) is also often considered a national dish of Israel. The Copts of Egypt claim to have first made the dish as a replacement for meat during Lent. The hearty fritters are now found around the world as a replacement for meat and as a form of street food.

Recently Falafel consumption has grown considerably due to recognition of its nutritional value, and the rising vegetarian/health trends. When made with chickpeas, Falafel is high in protein, complex carbohydrates, and fiber. Chickpeas are also low in fat and salt and contain no cholesterol. Key nutrients are calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, Vitamin C, thiamine, pantothenic acid, Vitamin B, and folate. Phytochemicals include beta-carotene. Due to its nutrition profile, as well as being considered a hearty and satisfying dish, falafel is often recommended for use in weight control programs. Its also high in soluble fiber, which has been shown to be effective at lowering blood cholesterol.

Falafel can be baked to reduce the high fat content associated with frying. Although baking alters the texture and flavor, its often a recommended preparation technique for people suffering from health problems like diabetes.
